The basic topics to resolve in mediation include the following: • Division of assets and debts • Child custody and establishing a parenting plan • Child support, spousal support, or family support • Division of employee/retirement benefits • Resolving reimbursement claims • Avoiding taxes and defining the tax basis of assets to be divided Divorce Mediation Manual is an effective guide to making the right choices when considering a divorce or engaged in divorce mediation.
